dingey

Tiny inflatable boat

Dingey is a variant spelling of dinghy, a small boat.

The dinghy spelling is standard; dingey appears occasionally but looks like a misspelling to most readers.

A dinghy is typically a rowboat, an inflatable raft, or a small sailboat used for recreation or as a tender to a larger vessel: We rowed the dinghy to shore.
